Maternity photo shoots, gender reveal, and baby showers are just some of the most common celebrations when someone is pregnant.
Pregnancy sounds like a magical experience!
Not quite! Pregnancy is much more than that!
In all honesty, most of us don’t look as glamorous.
Instead of wearing flowy and soft maternity dresses, we tend to rock pajamas all day.
Instead of seeing that pregnancy glow, we end up seeing how messy our hair is.
You know what we mean, right?
All pregnant women know that growing a human inside your tummy isn’t an easy job.
From unusual cravings, pregnancy brain to a roller coaster of emotions, this is the reality of pregnancy, and we’ve gathered 15 of the most common problems that pregnant women go through.
1) No touch spray
We get it. There’s a baby in that big tummy! Cute, right?
However, we also need to be a little more considerate here. This lady is pregnant, and it’s not right to just touch her tummy. To be honest, it makes pregnant women uncomfortable.
We love how this husband made a little no-touch spray for his wife. We’re pretty sure she’ll be using it.
I told my husband to put the oreos somewhere I couldn't get them. So he put them on the floor. #pregnancyproblems #thirdtrimesterwoes

2) Third-trimester problem
When this lady asked her husband to hide the Oreos where she wouldn’t get them, her husband cleverly put them on the floor.
He knows it! He knows that any woman in her third trimester won’t be able to get anything off the floor. Clap clap for you, mister!
3) Swaddling 101
When the baby comes, your swaddling skills should be ready. That’s why this expecting mom is already practicing her swaddling skills on, well, Mr. Skittles.
It seems that Mr. Skittles isn’t amused at all.
4) What I want for dinner
When this husband asked his 39-week pregnant wife to get something for dinner, she went home with these.
Remember guys, when your wife craves for it, support her.
Guess this couple will have an ice cream party for dinner.
5 Stages of Pregnancy:
1: Crying
2: Peeing
3: Crying because you peed
4: Peeing because you're crying
5: The toilet is your home now

5) 5 Stages of pregnancy
Sometimes it feels like the toilet is your home.
After all, you struggle to pee, and then you go back to bed to rest, only to realize that you need to pee again, and then you struggle to stand up again.
That’s when you start to cry because you know the cycle is on!
Other pregnant woman: I like to do yoga and an hour of cardio each day. It helps me appreciate the wonders of what my body is capable of right now
Me: I almost suffocated while trying to put my shoes on this morning

6) Extreme workout
Can’t figure out why some pregnant women can do yoga, tend to a beautiful garden, go out and have fun, even have time to do DIY baby stuff!
For most pregnant women? Putting shoes on or picking up the key on the ground is already enough for us to want to take a nap.
7) Baby feet?
Awww those baby feet are too adorable! Oh! Wait, those aren’t baby feet.
Kidding aside, it’s so hard to stand up and walk with swollen feet. Then you realize that it’s time to go to the toilet again. Oh boy!
*If you have this type of swelling, you might need to call your ob-gyn as soon as possible.
Me- *Coughs really hard.
3- Don't worry Mommy, I get you dry pants!

8) The kid knows
This toddler knows what happens when mom coughs really hard!
Isn’t he the sweetest? He’s definitely helping mommy here.
9) This feels nice, but how do I get out?
When you’re pregnant, it always feels like summertime, so imagine being pregnant in the summertime! That’s like 4x the heat, no kidding!
This pregnant woman was able to find a nice way to cool down, but the problem is, how would she get up?
10) Comfortable undies
Love laced undies? If you are pregnant, say goodbye to them for a while because you would want to switch to those comfy maternity panties.
When you are pregnant, comfort means everything!
11) Breakfast counter
Eating for two? More like eating for an army! Sometimes, you just feel so hungry that you realize you’ve had four breakfasts already! But hey! Who’s counting?

12) Weird cravings
Do you remember your weirdest food cravings? How about pickle juice popsicles!
It’s refreshing and weird at the same time, but for your pregnant wife, this is the best popsicle – ever!
Couple things about pizza….
1. I used it to tell Mat he was going to be a Dad.2. It really is our favorite food – eating it at least once a week.
3. Since I got pregnant, I CANT STAND THE THOUGHT, SMELL, SIGHT of it. 😭
Pregnancy is weird. #pregnantproblems #pizzalife pic.twitter.com/m79dsXilOL

13) Favorite no more!
When pizza is life but you later find out that you can’t stand the smell and the sight of your favorite food.
No one can really explain but it happens! Looks like no pizza for 9 months.
Literally BALLING because my husband took a bite of my sandwich.. he’s sleeping on the couch tonight 😢🖕🏻😒 #pregnantproblems pic.twitter.com/I4d3bFkNCK

14) Don’t make me cry, please!
This is our favorite!
When you’re pregnant, you just feel intense emotions. So guys, don’t think we’re overreacting, okay?
Don’t laugh because it’ll upset us more.
Pregnancy hormones make you want to either rip your husband's clothes off or his head off.
There is literally nothing in between.

15) Confused
No kidding. When you’re pregnant, those hormones are really active.
Sometimes, you just feel too much love for your husband, but most of the time, you just want to kick him. We’re serious!
At least these couples found a humorous way to get through the struggles and joys of pregnancy.

If you have a loving husband who supports, understands, and loves you throughout your pregnancy journey, then you’re absolutely lucky.
